#white victim complex

[crazycatsiren]

There are Christians in parts of the world where they cannot go to church, cannot worship in the open, whose lives are actually in danger because of their religion. Meanwhile, middle class white American Christians who have not known a minute of oppression in their lives are like "people won't even say 'merry Christmas' to us anymore this is war".

So you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free.

I know you’ve heard about Harrison Butker by now, and his embarrassment of a commencement speech at Benedictine College. You’ve probably seen the NFL kicker roasted six ways from Sunday for his misogyny, hypocrisy, and regressive nonsense. People have already written about his stupidity, everyone has memed his nonsense, and conservatives have applauded him for advocating for a return to the 1950s. That is exactly what he was doing, unashamedly. Butker delivered countless awful lines, saying, “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.” Which is an ugly mix of law and order rhetoric and sexism, a mix that makes no logical sense but scratches a certain itch in the mind of his conservative audience.

I just want to briefly add to the criticism of this Super Bowl winner, who will probably run for office before too long. Specifically, I want to highlight the inane variety of patriarchal bullshit running through his speech, and his apparent approach to the world. Butker and men like him are trying to sell us a load of hot garbage, and get men to be the worst version of themselves. They’re trying to make us see ourselves as victims, and encouraging us to use that false belief as fuel to go out and hurt other people. We can and should reject that directive.

We should reject it for countless reasons, but I think the place to start is to look at this guy telling us we’ve been oppressed by society and so we should stand up and be real men and tell women to be homemakers. He makes four million dollars a year to kick a ball, he’s won the Super Bowl, and he’s still a miserable person pretending to be a victim. All that wealth, all the success, and he’s going to speak at a college to tell young women, “I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”

As they’re graduating college to go out into the world, he’s telling them to stay home and be mothers. He’s theoretically reached the American dream, and he’s spending his time telling college girls to be “homemakers.”

Oh and in the days since his speech it’s come out that his mom is an accomplished physicist. But nevertheless.

fascinating to watch how hozier speaking Irish in his new music is making some people: 1. fetishise him further and/or 2. make 'fun' jokes about gaeilge/gaelic/'''garlic'''' bc like. babes. i can guarantee you neither of those actions are separable from the lingering impacts of colonialism.

Regardless of your thoughts, feelings, or opinions, Curly very much is also a victim of Jimmy’s.

Curly is a victim of Jimmy’s.

Curly being a victim of Jimmy does not however make Anya any less of a victim. They were both different types of Victims, Anya being sexually assaulted and having her sense of safety, personhood, and autonomy violated. Curly was manipulated and belittled by Jimmy pre crash several times, Jimmy also completely twisted what Curly said a few times to warp it to his own perception. They did not have a healthy friendship.

Everyone on the Tulpar was a victim of Jimmy’s by the end.

- Curly in an unhealthy and unbalanced friendship

- Daisuke a victim of Jimmy’s Manipulation

- Swansea became a murder victim

- and of course Anya was a victim of rape and misogyny

But again, other characters being victimized by Jimmy do not detract from what happened to Anya or her Victimhood

i am actually so tired of the way westerners treat eastern europeans

[timetravelstudies]

ok ill just say this i was one of the “girls” salò shit was being done to in ms like straight up movie style psychological torture type bullying and tbf i dont tend to use the phrase “female camraderie” in general or esp about myself since im a man now. but if you asked me if I’ve experienced it i would say yes for instance in the countless intimate hushed conversation in bedrooms ive had with cis, straight women (same type of girl that was torturing me in ms) bonding over shared madness inducing experiences such as being in extremely abusive relationships with men. So i wouldnt jump the gun on that one. But whatever

Hmm idk if weaponizing whorephobia to guilt people who stopped watching your yt channel because of multiple abuse allegations is very indicative that you've spent the last year rehabilitating yourself, but that's just me.....

australian politics is really fucking shit right now huh

[lasdelaintuicionn]

white women on "radblr" are as guilible, pitiful, hypocritical and racist as always, their whole delusional thing about racism being justified by gendered violence will never get tired for them to start chanting at every excuse, but it is very lame to me that i got engaged enough to comment on their discourse bc it was the first thing to show up on my dash

Context, history, FACTS! Take the time to listen & end this deadly hypocrisy. This is ethnic cleansing - plain & simple. Islamophobia can always be counted on to paint the oppressed as terrorist animals. Read a book, educate yourself, learn the generations long history before you spout the BS talking points spoonfed to you by the media. A media that silences their own journalists if they dare to not vomit out the same BS talking points provided by Israel (@MSNBC I'm looking at you)

In no way, shape or form are the actions taken by Israel this past week (actually since 1948) "self defense" and those claims would be laughable if the reality weren't so deadly. You can't indiscriminately bomb millions of people, forever claiming that they were being used as human shields. Filling watering holes with concrete isn't self defense. The bombing and destruction of schools, hospitals and entire city blocks of residential buildings is not self defense. Israel is NOT the victim in this situation. They told 2 million people they had 24 hours to evacuate despite having nowhere to go. Israel then repeatedly bombed the only route available to evacuate. They opened fire on families in their cars and left their bullet ridden bodies laying in the street. Israel has committed and continues to commit countless war crimes and not only does the US not condemn this David vs Goliath fight but we actively assist in this genocide by handing Israel billions of dollars each year for "defense" (over $158B to date). Imagine the good that those billions could do for millions of struggling people right here in our own country. War & profits for defense contractors and the military industrial complex is what this is actually about for the US.

The media keeps referring to this as "Israel's 9-11" so that we will accept whatever is done in retaliation. Palestine has no military whatsoever. In the past week alone Israel has dropped more bombs on Palestine than the US did in a full year in Afghanistan. They have now started using white phosphorus (an actual war crime). The US condemned its use in Syria but are curiously silent now that Israel has added it to their ever growing arsenal.

While we openly support and arm Ukraine, we vilify Russia yet in this situation, Israel is filling the role of Russia while Palestine is the Ukraine. The irony and hypocrisy is staggering. Someone has to put an end to this. History will not look back on Israel and its Allies as the "good guys". ❤️🖤💚

love how they screenshot your tags and made it look like you said something you never said and also acted as if it wasn't a privelege at all for women to obtain higher education just because their grandmother did it and then the second you explain how limited their world view is they accuse you of being rude, more priveleged than them and now they're continuing to try to make it look like you said things you never said. (also their logic is the exact same as when white people or men say they don't have any (white/male) privilege because they personally have suffered in some way but something tells me sportsbianism wouldn't see it that way)

they admitted to me in the DMs their ancestors were settlers and got free land and college education LMFAO see my latest post uwu
